| Looking for advice on these speakers Room size will determine the appropriate speaker choice as Metralla points out. The Super Victory is said to work well in small to moderately large rooms. The Total Victory V better for substantial sized spaces. Devore has an Orangutan 0/93 for sm... | |
| Looking for advice on these speakers You have good taste and these three brands are highly respected and admired. I'll offer this opinion, SET amplifiers will potentially sound best with simpler- minimalist speaker crossovers and higher(and flat) ohm loads. All three of these speaker... | |
| Why not horns? Hi Kiddman,We've shared forum topics before and I've come to respect your insightful input and feel the same regarding Frogman as well. I do feel a sense of gratitude towards HP and G. Holt for their publications in my early years in this most enj... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tasouli,You're right I'd forgotten that. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tas,You are correct the Total Eclipse has a simpler X over than the Total Victoty III of Grannyring. You just remove the lower woofer and will find the tweeter cap(solen) mounted on the floor of the speaker near the coil inductor. I have the Total... | |
| Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic Dkidknow,Good post! I had also suggested taking the speakers to the dealer. Tboooe has some reservations about the LM amplifier's ability to drive the Sonus Faber, well this would address that concern. Steve Huff found the 518 to be "very close" t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The CT-1 would seem to be a tremendous value. It is the" entry level" of the High Fidelity line, it will still be an upgrade compared with many cables in the marketplace. | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II Hi Drdavid,These new Coincident power cords are special if they're significantly improve over the previous versions (I know how good those sound). I'll be ordering some eventually. There's a manufacturer who goes by the name Tube wrangler (Dennis ... | |
| Why not horns? Kiddman,You use live acoustic instruments as your template and I happily do the same and this approach has served me very effectively in choosing audio components. You do need to be familiar with real instrument sound in order to determine how and... | |
| High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System I've always wanted to hear the PHY 12" driver speaker given its stellar reputation for beautiful sound. I wonder why Tonian Labs would discontinue its use? Now the only option apparently is the Ocellia speaker which is likely different sounding th... | |
| Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic Tboooe,I like your attitude, find a more cooperative dealer. One of the supposed advantages of a brick and mortar dealer is providing equipment for home auditioning.Truemaineiac what increased Tboooe's interest is a review of this very amplifier d... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tbg,I agree in that given the magnets and construction required, balanced cable may not be feasible with this design. In truth the HF cables are so excellent that RCA vs XLR becomes moot. I wouldn't obsess over this issue, just buy them and enjoy ... | |
| Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic Hi Tboooe,It's unfortunate your dealer is that rigid with you as a very interested customer.Why not just take your speakers to him. At the very least you'll be able to assess amp drive capability with the speakers.Charles, | |
| Amplifier Choosing Brf makes several strong points for the Jadis i35. Class A tube amplifiers that are well implemented are tough to beat sonically. According to Jadis their current production amplifiers have improved quality output and power transformers. The PMC i... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth,My "cart before the horse" comment was simply a way of describing my individual approach, nothing more. I have no idea how you construct your system or what its current status happens to be. I make the assumption on this site that w... |
